I asked a friend for a musical suggestion. He's got great taste. This one has been running through my head ever since. Enjoy.

Today has been a very busy day. I've been baking, doing laundry and getting packed for my trip to sanctuary. On top of that I'm going out to diner tonight and treated myself to a hair cut.Meanwhile my brakes are being bled and fixed. Just couldn't make it today, so X agreed to do them. So I am running in and out of the house to pump the pedal off and on.

Everything is done now except for my shower. Then its off to diner. Hopefully I can hit bed early so that I am awake enough to drive tomorrow so early. I'm taking it slowly. I'll be doing a basic 55 MPH to give the car a break and stopping twice on the way to check things out. I've got blankets in the car. Water, oil and food... just in case. My phone is charged and ready. But I've also got a car charger for it too.

I have only one complaint... my MP3 is missing. Music is part of driving. It keeps me from getting bored. Guess I'll have to sing.Good thing there are no passengers.

A lady offered a Miller Chill beer lamp on Yahoo Freecycle, I don't collect things like that but Rick does so I snagged it for him. It's actually pretty cool, she brought it by this afternoon and I took it over to Rick's shop and he loves it.

Yeah, as long as you insist on taking that car very far out of town you need to drive it easy or it may not get you home.

I always just ease along at 55, even when I went to meet you. But my rigs make it to 500 K while spending very little money on them before I have to replace them.

There is always a price to pay for being in a hurry. And that reminds me of a song, something like, "Slow down, you're going to fast, ya gotta make the moment last"

Yep. What the Pilgrim said. Hard to go wrong with Bob. I remember once, driving home from my Nana's on a beautiful summer day, listening to Bootleg Series. I was supposed to take exit 7 but I was enjoying the sunshine, the highway and the music. I noticed around exit 17. Oops.

Oh boy, the talk of music and driving....it just doesn't happen here :) All driving is an extraordinary austerity and not the cruising I loved so much. I'm going to Australia at the end of next month; there, my dear friend Manju (I think you might know of her, she's here http://www.paisleypeacockandpaneer.blogspot.com/

well, her and her husband have 2 cars: a brand new Alfa Romeo (which I call the Alpha Male of the house:), and a Jeep Cherokee. They toss the keys to me and say, "Pick one, go for it Braja...." and I'm off on the highways of the Aussie Gold Coast, ooohhhhhhhh the bliss.......:))

All-- Hello! I don't have time to answer these individually now. But I will tell you this much. I had a hello of a weekend! And I mean that in the positive. DH and family were great, as always. Met a nice man that I may move in with... to help him out in exchange for free rent, utilities, a computer line of my own and food to boot. It's sort of a housekeeper and cook situation. I can still work at the school and have my own social life. That will allow me to put most of what I make into savings and get that car I'd like to buy. Plus allow me to relocate to where I want to go. I figure it's kind of like being a mom and not needing a babysitter. Sanctuary would only be 10 minutes away. The plus is that he's got a great sense of humor and is full of stories.

Now it's back to the grind of Monday and work and life here in Dumb Potter's Hell. I'll get a new post up after school today.

Okay, I lost too many brain cells. First of all, congrats on the new living conditions! Where I'm confused is that I thought DH lived in the CA area. Must be my old age thing.Would you be moving immediately or wait until June? Is this the job interview you were referring to? Why am I so darned nosy?
